The effects of noise pollution on human health can be devastating. According to the WHO, those who live and work in urban areas are more at risk. In cases when it is not feasible to address noise issues at their source, effective sound insulation of the building envelope might be a worthwhile alternative. A well-installed system in the roof or façade can considerably reduce or eliminate outside noise, such as from traffic or aircraft. Meanwhile, good sound insulation can reduce intrusion from outside noises and save residents from being bothered by things like music or footsteps coming from above them. Sound insulation boards or granulate can be put to floors and walls to lessen the amount of outside noise that travels into an apartment building or office building and disturbs residents or employees.
How Much Acoustic Insulation Do You Need?
Approximately how much do I require?
The analysis of building acoustics is concerned with the propagation of noise within a structure, including how it travels through the exterior and interior walls, floors, and ceilings. Soundproofing efficiency is measured in transmission loss (TL) or the Sound Reduction Index (R), both of which vary with frequency. The unit of measurement is the decibel (dB). An increased loss indicates a more effective insulation against noise. The amount of acoustic insulation needed is determined by several factors, including the type of insulation used, the size of the area being insulated, and the degree of sound transmission (both direct and indirect).
Why Is There A Need for Acoustic Insulation?
Many factors can contribute to the requirement for acoustic or sound insulation, but they all center on the same goal: reducing acoustic levels. Skilya offers a variety of acoustic insulation and sound insulation solutions to meet your specific requirements, whether you need it to protect the hearing of employees working close to the source of the sound, to reduce complaints from neighboring premises, or to prevent sound from entering a specific area. Skilya is also the proud member of The Thermal Insulation Contractors Association (TICA).
When working on a project that necessitates sound insulation, you may rest assured knowing that our team is comprised of experts dedicated to bringing down the volume of distracting, excessive noise.
Why Choose Skilya Acoustic Insulation?
Stone wool, the main ingredient of Skilya acoustic insulation, is highly effective in dampening, absorbing, and, in some cases, amplifying noise. A product’s acoustic properties allow it to improve the acoustic performance of the system in which it is installed, which is true for both brand-new and pre-existing structures.
You can utilize Skilya products to accomplish the following goals:
The ability to absorb sound is crucial to effective room acoustics, since it reduces the amount of echoes and reverberation within the space. Stone wool lowers sound transmission, limiting the transfer of sound from the outside to the inside of the building and from one room to another, making it useful for insulating against unwanted noise (airborne, impact, and rain noise). Reduce vibrations by isolating and dampening them with stone wool’s resilient properties. Our acoustic insulation boards are long-lasting and adaptable, so they may be mounted on any flat surface, including walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, and facades.
